This one is from the local indie record store, Plan 9's website. Enjoy, greg Up, Up and Away - Wilco By Gary Graff April 2007 Jeff Tweedy always envisioned Wilco as a band more than a collective. So, he says, it's been a bit disconcerting to him that the group'"which he formed in 1994 after the dissolution of the acclaimed Uncle Tupelo'"has burned through several different lineups over the course of their six studio albums, including the new Sky Blue Sky. "I don't think I'll ever get used to it," claims Tweedy, 39, who remains from the original lineup along with only bassist John S

I watched the "Side With The Seeds" video the other day and wasn't really feeling it. Other than that, I still haven't listened to anything else. I'll be going out to the local indie store on Tueday morning and taking the day off to set at home and listen.

Both of these just ended on eBay. Interesting to see how much difference there was in the final price. Is "Trace" really nearly $50 better than "A.M.?" I think its better, but wow, $114.50 is a friggin lot of money Wilco A.M. LP Rare Red Wax Jeff Tweedy Uncle Tupelo OOP - $66.00 Son Volt Trace LP Rare Uncle Tupelo Wilco Jay Farrar - $114.50

Don't worry, a dislike for a couple of songs isn't going to do an entire album in for me. There are at least a couple on every album thus far that I've disliked. I've already got tix for the Charlotte show and will probably go to another. I've also done the pre-order special and will still be at Plan 9 as soon as it opens next week. I don't need an intervention or anything.

This is the first thing i've listened to. i've still yet to to listen to the album and thought i'd tide myself over by allowing myself to hear one song. well, i'm more worried now than before. this one does nothing for me at all. it's on par with my dislike of on&on etc. here's hoping there are some songs that are going to bowl me over that i've yet to hear.

just watched the video and damn jeff looks young. excellent version.

Here's my favorite part of the whole article which had so much useful information for a change: Tweedy, who says Wilco has so much unreleased material that he often can't identify those tracks when they come up on his iPod, is already thinking ahead to the band's next album. "We'd like to try and get something out fairly soon," he says. "By fairly soon, I mean within a year-and-a-half or something. The general scheme of things these days is that Wilco spends so much time touring, and the record industry doesn't seem to be geared toward putting out a lot of records by any one artist quickly.

Well the tickets should last a little longer than the typical 9:30 Club Wilco show.

got two in row N Orch L for Charlotte. Not great, but not so bad. I'll probably go for DC as well.

With just over a month to go until May 15th I'm sure I'm in the 1% who still has not listened, though I've heard about half of the album live full band or solo. I'm still very worried about not liking it, but I guess they are due to let me down. No other band that has been around over a decade has ever not done so by this point.

I made it about 30 seconds.

That Immigrant Song cover is pretty brutal.

the clash, zeppelin, the band, springsteen are all favorites, but damn if I don't still, twenty years later love Appetite. I got it when it was recently released around summer '87 and must've listened to it a 1,000 times that first year. I saw them in December '87 opening for Alice Cooper and it was ridiculous how bad they made him look, they were ferocious. I still take it on most every road trip, as you never know when the mood will strike, timeless.

#1 dr. dog - we all belong. #2 doesn't exist yet

the first three kiss records were released within 13 months of eachother.

"runaway," by del shannon is the perfect pop song as far as i'm concerned.

music from the elder. bad joke

I'm waiting and not really thinking about it that much just yet.

Wilco on vinyl: Being There, MA1, YHF & AGIB Tupelo on vinyl: the March/Still Feel Gone double vinyl & the anthology A. Defense: Circles Loose Fur: both albums G. Smog: just the new record I alos have most of the UT singles, but that's about it.

I think the 2nd-4th MMJ albums are the building blocks of a great run, plus they are undeniably the best live band to me. Another extremely consistent, extremely prolific, albeit extremely reclusive band is Lungfish. Eleven albums in like fourteen years and they're all challenging, dense as hell, works of art, not too mention a totally captivating live act that rarely ever tours and never does interviews. It all adds up to a very mythic, timeless aesthetic and style, very solid band with an extremely obsessed fanbase.

People will be listening to "Big Pink" a hundred years from now and proclaiming its brilliance, Wilco, will by that time be a mere footnote.

I guess the one serious drawback that I can think of by waiting two more months to listen to the record is that everyone will be bored to death of debating the record and how boring/brilliant it is/isn't, and I'll have no one to engage in said activity. I suppose there'll be a flurry of record reviews to debate over at that time. I guess I'll have to live with the 14 hours of backcatalog Wilco on my Ipod for now.

How many others of you are out there are intentionally skipping out on the now readily available "Sky Blue Sky?" I guess I'm either ridiculous or an old traditionalist. To me there's still something very exciting about physically going out the day a favorite new album comes out and taking it home to really sit down with it, on a stereo, and not via an mp3 or online stream. It just seems impersonal to me. I'm sure record labels wished there were more folks like me out there, but I know I'm in the minority here. so, who else out there in VC world is with me?

Larger Venues = Bad seats, higher ticket prices, worse sound and lots of dumb assholes (likely anyway).
